Your children are
happy skillful movers in Physical Education class! We have just completed a successful
unit of gymnastics. The lower grades (k-2) learned basic gymnastics skills
including a variety of tumbling techniques and balance activities. There
were many highlights to this unit, including watching students gain
confidence and self-esteem while practicing a variety of skills at the
gymnastics station.
In the month of
January we will begin a throwing and catching unit in grades k-2. All grades will continue participate
in cooperative games and activities. Throughout the
throwing and catching unit, students will develop an understanding of the basic
principles of these important lifelong skills. They will understand how these
skills require varying amounts of energy, and how they cause physical changes
to the body.
Parents and guardians
are encouraged to come see their children in action during PE class. Let us know in advance so we can have a
seat ready for you. You are welcome
to participate if you choose to do so. We love when parents come ready to
participate! Also, for your children’s comfort and safety we need your help by
making sure they bring their sneakers on PE days.
